That was Paul Lambert’s blunt response after yet another concession from a corner denied Aston Villa a desperately-needed victory over Everton at Goodison Park.

Villa had successfully defended 14 flag-kicks against the Toffees with many of them coming from the left boot of Premier League set-piece specialist Leighton Baines.

But Baines’ right-wing inswinger three minutes into stoppage time proved one too many for the claret and blues as Marouane Fellaini lost Ron Vlaar to head in Everton’s equaliser.

It is the seventh Premier League goal Villa have conceded from a corner this season and 16th from set-pieces in the top flight, while there have also been a handful of dead ball concessions in the cups, most notably against Bradford and Millwall.

Villa have now conceded 49 goals in the league, giving them a minus-26 goal difference.

Their susceptibility to set-pieces is not a new problem.

During Alex McLeish’s time in charge, Villa conceded 25 goals from set-pieces last season, the poorest record in the top flight.

Under Gerard Houllier in the 2010-11 campaign, they shipped 27 goals from set-pieces.

Unsurprisingly, it was a topic of conversation Lambert was keen to avoid after the 3-3 draw at Goodison, not least because he insists Villa are doing everything in their power on the training pitches to address the worrying trend.

Lambert believes it is because of individual errors with players switching off and allowing opponents to attack the ball, but it is particularly disappointing that captain and defensive leader Vlaar is the latest culprit.

“I’m sick of talking about it,” said Lambert.

“It’s man for man, it’s simple.

“It’s a simple game made complicated by people.

“It’s simple, you pick them up. It’s concentration and you know who your man is.

“You knew Everton were going to come at you strongly, but you just have to try and see the game through, which we never managed to do.

“The free-kicks and corners came into the box and the delivery of Everton is very good. You have to deal with them.

“The one at the end we never managed to deal with it. Ron got caught a little bit.

“The amount of times Fellaini has done that throughout his time here has been incredible.”

The six minutes of stoppage time referee Mike Jones added on at the end of the second half did seem excessive, but there were delays so each team could make all three of their substitutions, while Gabby Agbonlahor was booked for time-wasting and play was also halted to allow Victor Anichebe and Fellaini to receive treatment for injuries.
